Giants Fire Head Coach McAdoo, General Manager Jerry Reese

6 months ago

The New York Giants are parting ways with head coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese. The firing comes the day after Giants lost to the Raiders 24-17. New York is just 2-10 this year under McAdoo, in his second season as coach, after going 11-5 and making the playoffs last season.

The move comes less than a week after McAdoo benched franchise quarterback Eli Manning in favor of Geno Smith, ending Manning's streak of 210 consecutive starts. The move caused a massive outcry from the fan base who fervently supported the two-time Super Bowl champion. Fans wanted McAdoo fired last week, and their star QB returned to the starting role.
